You guys rock!!
You've all helped me SO much! I shut my computer down after it locked up,
and when I restarted it and tried to do a -showconfig so I could get some

I think there might be one last issue concerning the width of my screen and
my clock in the righthand corner pushed off the screen...but I'll probably
fool with it later, for now I'll just surf! :-]

P.S.-- any way to get fonts and stuff to work more window-like?
